Its sure got a nice ring to it. The Minnesota recount has been reviewing the thousands of challenged ballots by each campaign. Most recently, the Minnesota Star Tribune projects that Franken will win by 79 votes. Currently, Franken holds a lead of 266 votes. Could the Democrats win this seat and hold onto to the other seats vacated by Cabinet appointees to hold a 59 seat majority? The chances of the full 59 are dimming, but I can easily see 55 or 56 seats. With less than a month until the 111th Congress, what does a bigger Democratic majority and a Democratic president mean?
Responsible fiscal policy. The only Democrat who has been in office for the past 20 years was Bill Clinton, who managed to create a budget surplus. Wow. We havent had one of those in years.
A Better Global Standing. Democrats are historically less hawkish on foreign policy, but they have successfully led us through two of the biggest wars in history. With leadership like that of Wilson in WWI and FDR/Truman in WWII, we should be able to resolve our war on terror and create a global cooperation against terrorism.
Universal Health Care. It sounds relieving just to say it.
Environmentally Friendly Policies. We could just save the world. And our economy at the same time. Say goodbye foreign oil. Hello solar power.
